The Millers stormed to a well earned 3 points after a good performance against their visitors from Coventry.

Rotherham started the brighter and pressed Coventry back from the start but it was the home sides goalkeeper Charlie Whiteley who had to make the first save of the game blocking a fine sole effort from the Coventry left winger, who generally made a nuisance of herself during the whole game, and was in fact Coventry’s main threat.

Hayley “Woody” Wood made three excellent runs down the homesters right flank culminating in 3 fine crosses that were met by Helen Lynskey and two by Jaydene Venus, only to see their efforts go wide. The latter of the two, Jaydene Venus, had a fine game on her debut.

Helen Lynskey scored the opening goal from a 25 yard free kick that the Coventry goalkeeper couldn’t handle, and with Rotherham hitting the woodwork three times before half time, the writing was on the wall for the visitors.

The second half saw The Millers patiently build up play and wait for their opportunities to come and their patience paid off when Amy Pollock scored after a 20 yard effort sped past the keeper. Pollock again scored two more long range efforts to finish off her hatrick, her debut hatrick for the first team in 6 year at the club.

Hayley Wood scored a fine individual goal to make the score five and Rotherham were by now creating chances “at will” and should have easily increased the score line “two fold” but with poor finishing prevailing, the visitors went away, with their tales between their legs, even after scoring two late consolation goals.

The football played by The Millers, was the best so far this season and they must ensure that they concentrate from now on and take this form forward for the rest of the season.
